Following two COVID-19-related delays, Ashanti and Keyshia Cole were finally able to film their VERZUZ battle, which was originally slated for December 12. The first postponement was announced after Ashanti tested positive for the virus. The second delay was in response to rising COVID numbers in the nation as well as the recent unstable events in Washington D.C. Tonight, the singers finally went head-to-head in a battle of the hits.
